We cannot thank everyone enough for helping us raise the needed $15,000 to purchase and then build the new barn for the Zoo’s Flamingos. Located across from the Rhino exhibit, our beautiful birds returned to the Flamingo Yard earlier this month after “vacationing” off-exhibit while their new house was being constructed. (Fans of our Ne-ne geese can visit them in Aquatics exhibit in the Mississippi Wilderness area).

Deep appreciation to the following individuals and organizations who supported the build over the past year:

R.M. Miller Art and Rebecca Hicks with Luna Sea Studios (Flamingo shirt art) * Lucid Ink (t-shirt fundraiser)
Jaime M. (inaugural donation) * Mississippi Preservation Specialist LLC (thanks to Joe for the underfencing)
Cureton Industries and Art of Refinement (Allison helped with the sand)
Custom Built Portable Buildings (structure and install) * Star Buildings and Carports (structure and install)
Jackson Zoo staff * City of Jackson * Robert Parrish * Anita Carver * Susan Howell * Mark and Holley Weber * The Dearings
Janine Momchin * Allen Dearing * Christopher Decota * Deanna Hoppe * Michael Ower * Breelyn Harmon
Shiloh Humes * Matthew Bunce * Michale Fyffe * Orlando Carroll * Becky Story * Melanie Henry * The Kellys
and all the guests and supporters who dropped bills and change in the donation boxes.

On behalf of the Jackson Zoo Flamingos, the JZKeepers THANK YOU!!
